(Colo.)- Arenado Hits 20th Homer, Leads Rockies Over Yankees 5-3

Rockies righthander Chad Bettis had his best start in almost a month, holding the Yankees to three runs (two earned) on seven hits and no walks, striking out five over six innings. However, when your starting pitcher allows ten hits, there’s only so much you can do.

The Colorado Rockies are trying to reach.500 and then see if they can make a run in the National League West.

LeMahieu has been one of the stars in the field and at the plate, which made the sixth inning a scary one. LeMahieu and RBI double to Nolan Arenado. Starlin Castro singled with one out and Didi Gregrious poked an opposite-field, run-scoring single to left with two outs.Aaron Hicks followed with a tapper near the mound. DJ LeMahieu, who went 3-for-3 with a triple, got him in with a single to center, tying it at 2.

Orioles 3, Red Sox 2: Manny Machado belted a two-run home run in the first inning, but Jonathan Schoop’s solo shot in the eighth inning proved to be the difference as Baltimore beat Boston ace David Price, who recorded 11 strikeouts. Hicks was given an infield single and Bettis received an error for letting Hicks get to second base. @Chuck_Nazty scores. 6-3 #Rox!

Ivan Nova was the latest starter to struggle. Nova allowed five runs in five innings on ten hits and two walks. For an American League team coming in here, they’re not built for the pitcher to hit. Perez allowed nine hits and gave up four runs.
